Student ALA Conf Travel Scholarships

Unlimited Priorities (a small consulting firm that operates mostly in the publishing and information services space) has created a scholarship fund to support student travel to ALA meetings (http://www.aslesongrant.org/). The scholarship fund was established to honor Bob Asleson, a mainstay of progressive scholarly publishing for many decades. Beginning with the upcoming ALA Annual meeting in June (very short deadline for that), library/publishing/information science students will have the opportunity to compete for $1,500 travel grants by writing a short essay in response to a question posed by the trustees of the fund. We think this is a nice opportunity to encourage student participation in ALA, and would like to see our CIC students front and center in the competition. We're hoping that you all will be able to share this information with your students, and maybe even encourage a submission or two ahead of the May 1 deadline for the upcoming June meeting. Thank you for your interest!
